HELP: Need a mug shot
I've been asked to teach a seminar in proofreading for my professional association, next semester, and they want a mug shot to put in the publicity brochure. Does anyone have a photo of me that would- look okay in black and white

I am a domestic goddess
It's 18h30, and the soup is soup, awaiting the ravioli. The cake is dresssed and sitting in the fridge. The cookies are arranged on a platter. The cider is mulling on the stove. The pastries are in the fridge, awaiting baking (my brother won't be here until 7:30, so there's no point in baking things that taste better warm until closer to the time ( Read more... ) -
Self-Indulgent Ginchmas Post
It's the twenty-third, and I don't have to be back at work until Wednesday. I gave my minions the rest of the afternoon off yesterday, which made me feel all benevolent, but in truth, we'd proofed and proofed and changed the proofs and done everything we could, and there's nothing left to do to Teh Big Projeckt that Won't Die.* I'm sure PD will ( Read more... ) -

I don't go holding dances in random places where people who don't like dancing might have to ( Read more... ) -
No longer a shiska
It seems that despite my Catholic upbringing (baptism, first communion, confession in third grade (really, what sins do most eight-year-olds have to confess? I think I stammered something about not liking my brother and sometimes getting mad at my parents), penance (which involved saying sorry to God, my parents, and my brother), attendance at the ( Read more... ) -
A final moving tale
placidia, courtly, and the Bad Tempered Goddess deserve thanks, praise, accolades, and eternally good moving karma. I have better friends than I deserve, and I'm grateful for it.
placidia and the BTG arrived Friday night, just as my mother (who also deserves thanks and praise), was leaving. We finished a bunch of packing, the BTG went off dancing, and Placidia and I ( Read more... )
